Anything Goes Challenge for our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! Sponsored by Beccy Muir!!

 YIPPEE!!! It's Digi Haven's ONE Year Anniversary!  Congratulations!!

Happy Anniversary Digi Haven!  I can't believe it's been a whole year!  We've had quite an exciting ride over the past year and have seen many wonderful changes.  The best change has been all the talented folks who have joined in our challenges and have shared with us their designs, inspiration and ideas.  Thank you to all who have joined our challenges, given us support and who visit us and leave comments.

We went from using free digi images in June of 2012 to sponsored images in January of this year and in the process have worked with some of the most talented digi designers on the web.  We can't thank them enough for supporting us through their generosity and friendship.  Please visit our sponsors page.

We have seen a few DT members come and go over the past year but we've always had the most talented and dedicated members on this team and I can't thank them enough for their talent, patience, support and friendship.  We are not just a Design Team, we have become Comrades.  We're a family.  I am fond of every one of you (past and present).  Please visit our DT Page to see our current DT members.

As we reach our first anniversary we must say goodbye to two of our DT Comrades ... Mynnette and Lisa.  We will miss them both as they move onto their next adventure. You will be missed ♥

We are excited to announce that Andrea, who has been with us as a part-time DT member is now on-board full time.  Along with Andrea we'd like to announce that Dewi and Michelle will be joining our Digi Haven Design Team.  Please be sure to visit our Design Team Members Tab for their bios.
